Kolb was a brave Nord warrior. One day his Chief asked Kolb to slay an
evil dragon that threatened their village. "Go through the mountain
pass, Kolb", his Chief said. "You will find the Dragon on the other
side"
Kolb took his favorite axe and shield and walked to the pass, where he
found a cold cave, a windy cave, and a narrow trail.
to his left. A ladder was nearby as well.
A strong gust of wind blew Kolb's torch out, and knocked him into a pit
where he split his head and died.
THE END
Climbing up, Kolb found a camp. He met a wise man who shared bread and
showed two paths to the dragon's lair. One went through the hills, the
other through a marsh.
Following the stench, Kolb found a filthy orc! The orc snarled and
charged Kolb with his spiked club.
The orc cackled as his club splintered Kolb's shield and smashed into
his face. There Kolb died, and the orc had soup from his bones.
THE END
Before the orc could strike, Kolb swung his mighty axe. The orc's head
and club fell uselessly to the floor.
Kolb stepped onto a rocky hill. He could see the dragon sleeping below,
and a tavern off a road nearby.
Kolb found the lair where the dragon slept, tendrils of smoke wafting
from its nostrils. The air made Kolb's eyes sting, and he nearly slipped
on the bones of men, picked clean. The beast lay on its side, the throat
and belly both waiting targets.
Kolb stopped at the tavern to rest before fighting the dragon. High
elves ran the tavern, however, and poisoned his mead so they could steal
his gold.
THE END
The head of the axe lodged itself in the tough, scaly neck of the beast.
It wailed and thrashed, but Kolb held on and eventually sawed through
the neck, killing the beast. Kolb returned home victorious, and his
village was never bothered by the dragon again.
THE END
Kolb crept towards the belly of the beast, but no sooner had he taken
his eyes off the head of the beast than it snapped him up and ate him
whole, axe and all.
THE END
